i need some idea's please. im pregnant, tired, and a vegetarian....i am getting very hungry but just cannot think of something yummy that i want to eat, and i certainly can't be bothered making it! im sick of all the stuff i usually eat.
what can i make thats quick, easy, vego and relatively healthy?
I need ideas for lunches, snacks and dinners. (im a toast for brekkie.)
please give me some ideas - i really do enjoying cooking and eating but i think i need some encouragement, suggestions and motivation.
would you believe yesterday i actually cooked all day for my MIL (who just got out of hospital) but must have burnt all that energy out, LOL. i did make some things for us to share, namely the banana choc biscuits, LOL. the rest was meat stuff
please help me! i have bought a few frozen meals (not many veg ones about) and i had coles onion rings for tea last night. usually the fried/oven stuff was abit gross but that went down alright for once...
i cant carry on like this! im so tempted right now to open up a box of shapes coz i am hungry ... but theres nothing if 'want' enough to make it myself...i feel very lazy and patheticand hungry!
In summer I like a slightly warm pasta salad. Cook as much pasta as you need (I like using spirals), drain, then run cold water over it to cool it a little. Stir through a salsa (listed below) and serve. For the salsa I chop tomato, cucumber and avocado into small cubes and mix it with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and basil (or whatever herbs you have on hand).
Another recipe by Alison Holst is for Better Chickpeas.
Heat oil in a pan and cook a diced onion and some garlic.
Add 1t garam marsala, 1t curry powder, 1/2 t cumin (or some other nice combination of spices!) Cook for a minute.
Add a can of drained chickpeas, cubed potatoes and chopped carrot (or whatever veges you like).
Add a can of tomatoes and a little water, or a can of tomato soup, or a cup-of-soup (made with 1 C water).
Cook for about 1/2 hour, or until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has thickened.
thanks heaps guys.
i've got some leftover rice, i will make the chickpea one tonight
(dont have garam masala though - isnt that the expensive one?:P)
bet it tastes alot nice than the frozen one i have!
Yeah, saffron's the really expensive one. I found garam masala at the supermarket next to all the other spices, but yes, you can certainly blend your own.
When I am feeling lazy and hungry I just stick a few potatoes in the microwave. Stab them all over first with a fork (stops them bursting), spread out onto a plate (or into a microwave bowl with lid), cover (if you have a plate cover to save having to clean any spatter from the microwave), and nuke on high for about 5 minutes. I did 4 fairly small spuds last night for a snack (I could hold the 4 on the palm of my hand), and they only took 5 mins. Bigger spuds, more time (or cut in half). When done (test with a fork), slice in half, butter, sprinkle with seasoning (salt & pepper, or one of those savoury seasonings from McCormick or similar), and thin slices of tasty cheese, or whatever topping you may have, but they are my favourite lazy toppings.
I am feeling the same at the morning, starving, nauseous, but really unmotivated to cook anything.
One of my favourite quick meals is cook a potato in the micorwave for about 4 mins, take it out of the microvawe, cut it up and cover with a tin of baked beans and sprinkle with cheese, cook for another minute and presto, you have got the best lazy preggo meal that I can think of.
